Chapter 201 List
"Professor Mi, the Beijing Normal University archaeological team is the only team that has made any gains in this excavation. Do you have anything to say?" Mi Jishan was surrounded by reporters as soon as he left the hotel.
Despite his inner anxiety, Mijisan forced himself to say, "I just want to thank the country and all the team members."
"Professor Mi, is it really that simple? What made you seize this opportunity?"
Without even thinking, Mijisan said, "Excuse me, everyone, I really have an urgent matter to attend to."
When Yun Yao arrived, she saw Mi Jishan trapped in the middle by reporters. She felt a bit of a headache. These people really were everywhere.
Just as Yun Yao was about to turn and leave, she heard Mi Jishan's voice.
"Vice Principal Yun!"
Yun Yao: "..." It's over, there's no way to hide now.
Yun Yao turned around with a stiff smile, forcing a rigid expression.
As soon as the reporters saw it was Yun Yao, most of them rushed towards her.
It seems a bit too far-fetched for a woman in her twenties to serve as the vice president of Beijing Normal University, but there seems to be nothing wrong with it, after all, Beijing Normal University only returned to its peak thanks to Yun Yao's efforts alone.
This is Yun Yao's first appearance in front of the camera since becoming the vice president of Peking University. Coupled with Yun Yao's tendency to trend on social media, many people have turned their attention to her after weighing the pros and cons.
"Miss Yun, I heard you also participated in this on-site excavation. How was your experience?"
As everyone knows, Yun Yao is very good at history, but her archaeological skills are questionable; otherwise, she wouldn't have run away at the last minute when leaving the site in Nanxun City.
Yun Yao noticed the word the female reporter used; she used the word "experience".
Archaeology is a sacred and serious matter, but she described it as an experience, which undoubtedly dug a pit for Yun Yao.
Yun Yao chuckled lightly, her gaze sweeping over the female reporter in front of her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't participate in the on-site excavation this time. I just came with them."
Since you've already assumed I'm incapable of archaeology, then go ahead and assume that.
Although Yun Yao's words gave them ammunition, it was far less serious than the charge of disrespecting archaeology.
The female reporter awkwardly put away the microphone and stepped back.
"Alright, if you're concerned about the archaeological progress, please wait for the official announcement of the time and place for the press conference. This is my private time. If you keep bothering me, I'll call the police. Please move aside." Yun Yao's cold gaze swept over everyone in front of her.
At that moment, everyone felt an invisible pressure pressing down on them, making them feel suffocated.
As soon as Yun Yao took a step, they consciously made way for her until she and Mi Jishan disappeared from sight.
After shaking off the group of reporters, Mi Jishan followed Yun Yao, panting heavily.
"Vice Principal Yun, you've finally arrived!"
"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way, which caused the delay." Yun Yao's eyes darkened slightly as she thought of Zuo Qiuyun.
Mi Jishan led Yun Yao into the hotel's conference room, where quite a few people were already waiting.
Upon seeing Yun Yao enter, everyone stood up on their own.
Yun Yao took in the whole scene without saying anything and walked straight to the head of the table.
"Why did you rush me here so urgently?" Yun Yao sat down, leaning back in her chair with a languid expression.
Mi Jishan pushed a stack of documents in front of Yun Yao, his expression solemn.
“Vice Principal Yun, these are our speculations and findings, but we feel like something is missing. Please take a look.”
So all this was just to report on the archaeological progress to her? I breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon she realized that her worries were justified.
[List of male favorites in the residence of Imperial Preceptor Zhou Wan.]
Looking further down, dozens, even hundreds, of somewhat familiar names came into view.
Yun Yao: "..." How did they know?
Everyone present looked at Yun Yao, and noticed that her expression was somewhat stiff.
After a long while, Yun Yao finally spoke.
"How...how did you know?"
Mi Jishan did not notice anything unusual about Yun Yao. When she asked, he quickly replied, "Oh, we found this in the small side chamber on the right. There was a decayed box inside, and inside the box was a gold book with these names engraved on it."
Yun Yao almost rolled her eyes. Of course she knew about the box Mi Jishan was talking about. When she saw it before, she thought it contained some gold and silver jewelry, because Yuwen Qingyue liked to use that kind of box to store gold and silver. She never expected this!
"Vice Principal Yun?" Mi Jishan reminded her when he saw Yun Yao lost in thought.
Yun Yao snapped out of her daze, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.
"Ok?"
"Is something wrong that you seem so lost in thought?" Mijisan asked.
"Yes, there's a problem, of course there's a problem!"
Yun Yao quickly picked up a pen and began to mark up the document.
“These two are the stewards of the Imperial Preceptor’s residence; these ten are the guards of the Imperial Preceptor’s residence; these twenty are the servants of the Imperial Preceptor’s residence; these twenty are… are the maids of the Imperial Preceptor’s residence, and these are…” After saying this, Yun Yao hurriedly pushed the things in her hands away, as if she was afraid of being contaminated by something unclean.
Everyone in the conference room stared blankly at Yun Yao.
“Vice Principal Yun, is this… is it really that hasty?” Mi Jishan couldn’t help but ask.
Yun Yao now wished she could dig a hole in the ground and disappear into it.
"You don't believe me? I'm just stating the facts. No one knows this history better than me!" Yun Yao had a somewhat desperate attitude, determined to salvage her reputation however little she could.
This put everyone in a difficult position. Putting aside Yun Yao's unusual behavior today, her other identity was indeed very convincing. After all, the Skin Peeler had the ability to get official certification with just a casual remark.
"Vice Principal Yun, okay, let's not talk about that now, take a look at this." Mi Jishan handed over another stack of photos and documents.
When Yun Yao saw the words above, her eyes flickered slightly.
"Aside from the murals, no other items related to the Grand Preceptor Zhou Wan were found in the tomb, which shows that the relationship between Yuwen Qingyue and the Grand Preceptor Zhou Wan was not as bad as people say."
This is exactly what I've been waiting for!
"This analysis is quite correct! Just as it says here, Yuwen Qingyue and Yun Zhouwan really have no relationship!"
After Yun Yao finished speaking, she felt countless gazes falling on her.
"Is the Grand Preceptor of Zhouwan surnamed Yun?" Mi Jishan successfully grasped the key word.
Yun Yao: "..." She was so excited!
"Um...didn't I mention this before? The Imperial Preceptor Zhou Wan's surname is Yun!"
The audience was silent.
Yun Yao didn't know how she got out of the hotel. Her head was spinning. It felt like she had settled some things today, but it also felt like she hadn't solved anything.
Just as he was feeling frustrated, Su Yuchen called.
Yun Yao: "..." Just what I feared most has come to pass.
"Hello? Su Yuchen."
The person opposite her sensed her low spirits and asked gently, "The archaeological excavation is over. When does Madam plan to return?"
Yun Yao had been gone for less than a week, and now she was going back, but she still hadn't figured out how to bring it up.
Forget it, let's take a step by step!
"I'll be back in the evening."
